In Reply to: High-end CD player vs. DVD-A; an A/B test comparison posted by Arafel on May 12, 2003 at 22:22:15:
The Grateful Dead DVD-As are only 48/24 but are notable for their excellent surround mixes. DSOTM's stereo track is at best a marginal improvement over various CD versions, again surround is where the money went. As for the Police I can't say, I won't listen to them.Why not compare Hotel California or Both Sides Now on the DVD-A side and any Rolling Stones disc and a Patricia barber disc such as Cafe Blue on the SACD side?
